Wow.

The quarterly sales of Animal Crossing in the earnings report will be a sight to see. Also, the game pretty much perfectly matched the sales of all the earlier games combined (excluding digital, so it has actually far exceeded it). EDIT: Nevermind that last sentence, OP misses Amiibo Festival and more importantly the original on N64/GameCube.

If we just count all previous mainline AC games (excluding Amiibo Festival/Happy Home Designer) I'm 100% sure that NH has outdone them all combined. Digital included, it's outdone everything including those two (and likely even including all the 5000 re-releases the original game had on N64 and GC)

Where are the rest of the numbers?

They only released the numbers for AC, full-week sales are to come later: https://www.famitsu.com/news/202003/25195316.html

Holy shit.
Do we know yet what the Lite to regular Switch ratio is?
Did stock come back strong all of a sudden or are they just gobbling up the last Lites left?

They only said 394k Switches, no word on ratio yet. I'd guess they held a lot of stock in reserve for this.
